The Battlefield Blog announces that those who preorder Battlefield 3 through the EA Store will receive two in-game items for Battlefield Play4Free. These are: "The Battlefield 3 Edition 870 Combat shotgun and the Battlefield 3 Beret. Not only will these help customize your in-game avatar, you’ll also be able to get up-close and personal, devastating the competition with the business end of one of the most effective close-quarter weapons in history."

Berets, huh? So TF2 and BF3 have hats. Brink has all kinds of clothing and tattoos. If you had told young, Dooming me that playing dress up would one day be a part of competitive FPS games, I don't think I would have believed it.
